It was sold to Robert Costa in 1976
and then to Robert Serge and
Nancy Goodman in 1984.
In 1993 Kathleen (Gleason) Mand Beck purchased the historic log home.
Siding and wall materials were removed to expose the original log
structure. She made it into the Dovetail Gallery, named
for the dovetail log construction.
It’s now Ginnie’s Cappaert’s. A log in one of the walls is supposed to have
been salvaged from the 1871 Peshtigo Fire, the most
devastating fire in U.S. History. Peshtigo is located 18
miles directly across the bay. The fire consumed 1.5
million acres of forest and over 2500 lives.
